Day 16 The return to Shimla

Well what an interesting day...

Last night after I wrote the blog I went down to the resturant at Hotel Grotty. There we found the staff watching an Indian soap opera and much more interested in that than us. Two rabbits were hopping around the dining area. When we came to order nothing we wanted was available so ended up with chips and nan bread with a chick pea dal.

Well glad to be out of there this morning and I found a bit if wood with a nail set in it under my from tyre. Luckily I didn't get a puncture. The first few Kim's were unmade road and shook the bikes to bits. We then got onto Tarmac and the road was cut from the side of the cliff. The road was very twisty and a real please to ride.




We stopped at a darbha and I put my bike on the stand and it promptly fell over the stand had snapped. Bugger. We carried on and the trip from Tapri to Shimla was 208 km.

At 4 km from Shimla my bike gave up the ghost and conked out right in front of a welding shop. We spent some time working on the bike changing the ECU and spark plugs. We eventually got it going again and I got the guy to weld up the stand. Total cost 100 rupees  = £1.



Simon decided to get some stickers make up at a shop next door. Pic below.


Me and Dean left the other two at the sticker shop and went on to the hotel we like in Shima. The short cut tunnel was closed 1 km so had to take the long way round 22km. Bugger That's the three things today.

The hotel was fully booked so went back to the hotel we stayed in 10 days ago but this time we had water. Tonight we are going for street shaves and a meal. Hopefully no monkeys in the room tonight. Tomorrow is the run into Delhi and we should be able to return the bikes to Lalli and get a Tax
 I back to the flat.
Saturday is a shopping sight seeing day then Sunday I fly home on BA.

Update: had a street shave and I feel normal again then went for a meal: Paneer tika Malasa.  

The street shave...god I look knackered.
